What You Get The CAD Consortium is going to produce a tried CAD system that: ■ Will operate on three different families of computers — AT&T,1�1 Data GeneralO and DEC.@ ■ Is designed for and by Police. Fire and EMS personnel and managers. ■ Will have continued support by members of the CAD Consor- tium — as each agency, makes an improvement it will be shared with other members at no cost. ■ Will use a relational database — Oracle@ s Is the best ever written. Z. How Much It Costs There will be a maximum ex- pense for the development of the CAD system. Each member of the Consortium will pay an equal share. For example, if the total development cost is $600,000 with 20 members, each member pays $30.000 — a benefit of joint cooperation. The potential exists to license the final product to other agencies who are not members of the Con- sortium. Fees charged for licens- ing to nonmembers could pay back the original cost. There are many reasons why Po- lice, Fire and Emergency Medical Service agencies should consider CAD. Simply stated, it runs on a computer system that is affordable, manageable and easy to use, regardless of any agency's size. It also allows specific benefits to be derived: Mttgaated TThose aren't railroad tracks above— they are a common means of moving a complaint card from a call I I Police Module EMS Module Completed Completed Feb.

They are symbolic of the manual and mechanical dispatching systems throughout the U.S. today. CAD revolutionized call processing and dispatching.
